I'm a Lucky Sucker!

It's just after 11 and I am beat. I have had a cold of some sort for the past week. It started as a sore throat and is now up in my head. I feel okay, but I sound like shit. I have been driving a lot and I left my laptop power cord up in Davis and had to buy a new one today. The apartment is in no way tidy, but life is good.

And I am not just talking about seeing the clouds through the silver lining. Things are good.

First off, my folks came into town this past weekend and save a few little hiccups, the visit was great and we had a stellar time. Good food, lots of laughs, lovely scenery and lovely company. There is something strong about family. At least the relationship that I have with my parents, since I certainly don't have that bond with anyone else in the bunch.

Wow, let's not head there.

Anyway, we closed The Real Thing super strong. It renewed my faith in my work and gave me a pathway to a new community. Or at least opened my community a bit. I wish I could say the same for my camp teaching. We do such a good job getting the kids to interact and bond, but there's nothing like that for the staff. My guess is that they don't want to pay for any more time, so connections like that suffer.

But again, I digress.

But from a more positive place, my classes have been going great. The kids at CalShakes are awesome. I completely enjoy an older crew and now that I am back with the university set, it feels more comfortable. More known. Familiar.

Onward Ho! Happy.
